Masters underway, Dane Mizutani talks Minnesota sports · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

0:07
Right, good afternoon welcome Miller and Condon on a Thursday,
0:10
the Iowa Sports Radio Network, Trent Condon, Ken Miller for the
0:14
next couple of hours talking sports with you.
0:17
Appreciate you starting your afternoon with us.
0:19
Here's what's coming up on our program.
0:21
Been a while since we ventured N to the Twin Cities.
0:24
Catch up on sports up there and we'll do so at the bottom of the
0:27
hour with our friend Dane Moussutani from the Saint Paul
0:30
Pioneer Press. The primaries primary beat is
0:33
the Vikings, but he certainly covers the the Twins.
0:37
We got another win last night. Three in a row, they're stacking
0:39
them up. And the Tigers starting stack.
0:43
I'll tell you what right it was. It was 72 when I'd had enough
0:47
and went over to an NHL game. That's about what I got into it.
0:50
Same as last night, little different schedule that we live.
0:53
Funny, there's two nights in a row it's been exact opposite.
0:55
What was the final 868? Also, they did get interesting.
1:00
And that Twins bullpen, This is not sustainable.
1:03
No, no, there's no excitement level over here.
1:06
Cody Funderburth might be the best reliever.
1:09
Cool Sands, maybe it's not good. And I was texting with the Twins
1:15
buddy last night. Boy, it would have been nice if
1:17
they wouldn't have sold off all those bullpen arms, which was
1:19
the strength of their team. Not a lot of very good
1:22
prospects, but conversation maybe for Dave Mizutani.
1:25
We'll talk to him at the bottom of the hour.
1:26
We'll do some. I want to at least get one wild
1:29
question. Minnesota has a massive game
1:31
tonight. Oh, yeah, absolutely massive.
1:33
They played the Stars in Dallas, OK, And they're two points back
1:37
of Dallas right now. And with second place,
1:39
Colorado's won the division. But Minnesota and Dallas are two
1:44
evenly matched hockey clubs, and one of them's going home after
1:46
seven games. Maximum minimum of four,
1:49
obviously, and you want home ice advantage and if if Minnesota
1:53
has any chance of getting home ice advantage, they need to win
1:57
tonight rather than start the series in Dallas.
1:59
There's only four games left in the regular season, so we'll
2:02
pick Dane's brain on that as well.
2:04
A lot of topics for Minnesota sports.
2:06
We get the Dane here in about 25 minutes.
2:08
Look forward to that as we always do.
2:11
Dane Mazatani coming up. Do we ask him as a reporter, as
2:15
a beat reporter on the NFL beat, how does he view the Rusini
2:19
Vrabel story? I think this is getting.
2:21
Zero coverage. I I think you're more intrigued
2:23
by it than I am. Maybe you know what?
2:25
It more so intrigues me. Not the scandal itself.
2:28
Oh well, the the fact that it sets women back.
2:29
I truly believe that this was not just some drive by.
2:35
Hey, that's my Vrabel. Let me get my iPhone.
2:37
This is a photo from I don't know how many feet yards miles,
2:42
but this is a professional stakeout trying to trying to
2:47
find them. So there's they're in Arizona
2:49
they're in Phoenix area Tempe for Arizona State pro day.
2:52
Then they got an off day where they run out to this adults only
2:56
resort $2100 a night for a private cabin and and they're
3:01
busted and I want to know what's behind it who's behind it
3:04
doesn't doesn't intrigue you one bit.
3:06
No doesn't OK and it's and usually speak for the audience
3:09
so I'll move on it's. Two consult dissenting adults.
3:12
But it's it's it paints her variable will be fine.
3:16
Yes. Oh, absolutely, Because that's
3:18
always how it. Goes.
3:18
That's always how it goes. The guy on the other.
3:20
Hand, Yeah. I mean, she's not going to be
3:25
able to keep her job. I wouldn't think.
3:27
I wouldn't think. And how she's seen by her peers,
3:30
her female peers when she goes to an event like her male peers.
3:34
Well, her male peers here, but I think particularly the women.
3:37
Yes, I mean it hurts. Them, yes.
3:39
But then her, well, male peers don't have that availability.
3:43
Yeah, So leave it alone with Dane I All right, Fairpoint.
3:49
If he was a female reporter, yeah.
3:51
Maybe, yeah. 1:00 What are we doing at 10?
3:55
Tommy Birch is going to join us. Look forward to this Birchy.
3:57
We had a lot to talk about. We do.
3:59
We absolutely do as we'll pick Tommy's brain.
4:02
Obviously Iowa State women's sports, what's going on there?
4:04
Basketball, rather, what's going on there, if anything, Is he
4:08
hearing anything? Have you seen Audie Crooks
4:11
lining up a visit, at least publicly?
4:13
No, I mean not either. The initial speculation,
4:16
Oklahoma, Texas were a couple that were talked to, you talked
4:18
about and bandied about I think a bunch in the beginning.
4:22
It's hard to envision at least Oklahoma, the style of play that
4:25
they have. Her being able to play in that
4:27
kind of system didn't seem like it was a real good fit for me.
4:30
Texas, I could see a little bit more.
4:31
And by the way, the Longhorns are losing everybody.
4:34
Are they really? Yeah, they have.
4:36
After a Final Four run, they have lost a bunch of both
4:39
starters and people that were rotational pieces, young
4:42
players, including one that has when.
4:43
You say everybody like. Like 5-6 players that were
4:46
coming back with eligibility and.
4:48
Starters. I think 2 starters and one of
4:51
their youngsters and there was a connection.
4:53
She's from Minneapolis, but she played for all Iowa Tech, so
4:56
people connecting potentially some dots there.
4:59
I think there was maybe some kind of connection with, oh,
5:02
that's what it was. Addison Bjorn, remember that
5:03
name from back in recruiting another one of the five stars
5:06
out that we're after from the Kansas City area.
5:08
Of course, she makes her decision to play with Texas, to
5:11
play with this former AAU teammate who is now departing
5:15
the program. So it's a connecting of the dots
5:17
there. But yeah, that one jumped out.
5:19
But yeah, I haven't seen any more on Audie Crooks and visits
5:22
are being set up. I saw I was getting a visit
5:24
coming up this weekend from Danny Carnegie, who averaged
5:29
nearly 18 a game, 5 rebounds for Georgia a season ago.
5:33
Really. Yeah.
5:33
So we're not talking about a mid major player here, somebody from
5:36
the SEC that put up those kind of numbers a season ago.
5:39
And that is one that Jan Jensen and the Jan Jensen thing.
5:43
Yeah, of course, you're looking for star power and those kind of
5:45
things, but also just building roster.
5:48
You have to find those players that are willing, that were mid
5:51
major player that averaged 18 a game there.
5:53
You're probably going to be a bench piece here.
5:56
Following and the easy ones are the star players and the ones
5:59
that I think grab all the headlines and the attention.
6:01
That's the easy part, that next year maybe even could be in a
6:04
way a little bit, yeah, a little bit more difficult to finding
6:07
those right pieces and the ones that are going to go from
6:09
playing 35 minutes a game, you might be playing 12 to 15.
6:12
You got to be willing to do so, obviously.
6:14
And be a good teammate along with.
6:15
This was about to say no question about it.
6:17
All right. And then Speaking of women's
6:19
sports, so this came up, I guess, on the afternoon show off
6:23
the bench earlier in the week. And apparently Lucas Train is
6:27
trying to steal my title as Mr. WNBA on this radio station.
6:31
Really. So I thought I better get my you
6:32
know what on my in gear. And I did.
6:36
We lined up Scott Agnes, who covers the Fever.
6:38
He also covers the Pacers, but it'll be more Fever.
6:43
So we're going to we're going to talk some WNBA.
6:45
Obviously, the new collective bargaining agreement has done
6:48
just the significant impact as far as financially for all of
6:52
the people on the roster. I want to know about Sophie
6:54
Cunningham. Where is she?
6:55
Is she going to play? Is she going to be a member of
6:57
the Fever? So we'll talk to talk to him
7:00
about that. And of course, Caitlin coming up
7:02
here at 1:30 as I try to nip it in the bud.
7:07
You can be June 25th. You can be Bister WNBA okay all.
7:10
Right. And tell that.
7:11
I'll leave that title with you, Lucas Strain, but until then,
7:14
layoff. That's your.
7:17
That's your corner. That's my area.
7:19
You kind of missed that corner a year ago for quite a.
7:21
While out of a Trent, I really did.
7:22
In fact, what was that thing she played in recently?
7:28
Ohh. The American team.
7:30
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was all over where she was.
7:32
The she was the MVP. I can't get enough of her.
7:34
I really can look at your I love greatness and she's great.
7:37
Look at your evolution. Well, not now.
7:39
I wouldn't go full blown it's. You've come a long.
7:43
Yes, absolutely, Absolutely. When it comes to that, she's
7:46
phenomenal. She is.
7:47
Phenomenal. An old dog can learn new.
7:48
Tricks. Well, one, one or two.
7:51
So that's coming up today. Trent will make some picks
7:53
before we get out of here. How much Masters have you seen?
7:55
So I'm, you know, sitting in here watching the watching the
7:58
tournament on ESPN, all of a sudden it's gone.
8:00
Oh yeah, yeah. So where is it now?
8:02
I think it is currently Paramount plus.
8:06
I have the Masters app so that's where I'm watching currently.
8:09
How much does that cost? Free I mean.
8:12
Maybe I should help. You should have help me out here
8:14
during the. Break.
8:15
Yes, yes, absolutely. What did you say it is?
8:17
I'm looking at my phone to see how do I have paramount.
8:19
I don't think I do. Yeah, that's one I think that
8:21
has fallen by the wayside. I think I got a a free Paramount
8:26
plus subscription with my subscription to 24/7 sports.
8:29
What else is on Paramount? I have.
8:32
No idea. I don't.
8:33
College hoops. There's no college hoops, no.
8:35
Nothing extra. No, nothing extra, right?
8:37
Yeah. So I don't need to have it to no
8:39
other than maybe, you know, a couple days a year, right?
8:41
And that's it. So maybe there's a free trial
8:43
out there or something. But yeah, the Masters app, it's
8:45
got you covered kind of in the interim before we get back to
8:47
real television coverage as 2 old guys complained about
8:50
television and Patrick agreed often.
8:54
Firing what he starred bogey eagle.
8:56
He had an eagle early on, eagle on the 2nd.
8:58
I think. I beg your pardon Birdie.
9:00
The first eagle the 2nd and he's currently 5 under on it.
9:06
Last glimpse had the lead. Is he still there at 5 under?
9:09
He is in fact, four eyes get dropped the shot.
9:12
He's 4 tied tied for the lead with Sam Burns.
9:16
One of the one of the good guys on the tour that everybody seems
9:19
to like just hasn't worked. His form is not very good.
9:22
I don't have anything in the dozens of pools.
9:25
It feels like that. On Sam Burns.
9:27
And I have nothing on Sam Burns, so congratulations to your
9:30
master's winner. What about Fred Couples?
9:33
I don't know. What was his price to make the
9:35
cut? Did you ever dabble in that
9:36
mark? I didn't.
9:37
No, I didn't look very at that. He's right now tied for fifth.
9:41
He's 2 under. He's 2 strokes off the Doesn't
9:43
he always make the cut? I wouldn't say always.
9:45
But certainly of the old guys if the couples is going to be if
9:50
provided the back is OK and apparently so far so good for
9:54
for couples. He's off to a great start.
9:57
I saw Olaf Thabel got off to a good start 'cause I'm watching
10:00
your Zach Johnson bet Yes, and and he's he was even last time I
10:04
checked Zach was. I like that play you made
10:07
yesterday with the. The seniors, but Freddy Couples
10:09
is making it tough on me. He is right now.
10:11
He's off to a terrific start, no doubt about that.
10:15
And and it seems like couples has a round like this so.
10:18
It's not necessarily two, yeah. That's, that's kind of be going
10:21
to be the part that's going to make it a little bit more
10:23
difficult. I'm trying to find like a
10:25
rundown of all of his different results and I can't find here we
10:29
go. He lashed 2 years ago, made the
10:31
cut in 2023, but it missed 4 consecutive.
10:35
Oh, really? Yeah, I'm all wet on that one.
10:37
Then I wonder who I'm thinking of.
10:39
But he's had those runs, he's had opportunity, been close.
10:42
2017, he finished tied for 18th. All right, good starts, though.
10:45
That's what you get from Fred. Great swing him and early else
10:48
maybe two of the prettiest swings in golf.
10:50
Yes you know I mean certainly the swing easy don't have to
10:54
kill the golf balls like most most of us amateurs try to do
10:58
just swing as fast as we can and hit it as far as we damn well
11:02
can. But those two certainly went
11:05
against the grain when it comes to that.
11:06
All right. And then Trent's going to make
11:08
some plays. Circus sports sponsor those.
11:11
Kind of an easy daylight day baseball wise.
11:14
Full slate of hockey tonight, including a massive game tonight
11:17
if you're a hockey fan between the Wild and the Stars, as the
11:21
Stars try to do everything they can to hang on.
11:24
You kind of have me intrigued. I might watch some hockey
11:27
tonight. It's a hell of a game, Trey.
11:28
It's a huge spot. And you know what?
11:30
I think it's going to be a physical game.
11:31
I think there's going to be some messages sent.
11:33
I love what the Wild did at the trade deadline.
11:35
They got bigger, they got tougher.
11:37
They're not going to get pushed around like they normally have.
11:39
They've got a top ten player in the league, maybe closer to five
11:43
than he is to 10. And Caprisoff, both Fellino
11:46
brothers, they went out and got a guy that was like 6667.
11:49
Mccarran's his name from Nashville.
11:51
He can play, but he can also. He doesn't take any crap and he
11:55
said he's going to stick up for his teammates.
11:57
So I love this guy, the make up of this Wild hockey club.
12:01
So they've got a chance and if they want to get home ice
12:04
advantage, they best win tonight.
12:06
I do have a hockey question for you because I was looking at my
12:09
pending bets after we got. Not.
12:12
Well, I got Anheim Ducks to make the play.
12:14
I knew you had. That Yep.
12:15
So got that one in the pocket. A couple of that.
12:18
Doesn't look as home free as it did a couple of weeks.
12:20
Yeah, it's not it's not a free square at this point that it
12:22
looked like it was for quite a long while.
12:25
I have your jets to make the playoffs when when you were poo
12:29
pooing him at one point I'm like I got to get involved here at
12:32
some point. He's way too negative on it.
12:34
Couple other Western Conference ones couple long shots on like
12:37
the sharks. I think the Ducks one out and of
12:41
course the Golden Knights were always going to be part of My
12:43
Portfolio, but I had one because it was you and my palm some
12:46
Friday talking about and my. Obligatory one question, right
12:50
Talk hockey. And so I got the backup goalie
12:55
to win the What's the trophy for a goalie?
12:57
Yeah. Yeah, Walsted at 100 to 1
13:00
because you guys were talking about that.
13:01
This guy was great. Yeah.
13:02
What is the goaltending looking like for the Wild going into the
13:05
play? Is it is it a timeshare?
13:07
Is it going to be? Yeah, I think it probably, well,
13:09
they'll pick one, but I'm not sure which one.
13:11
You know what, watch tonight and who probably gets the cult
13:13
between the pipes tonight. Be a good indicator which way
13:16
they're going to go. Because Gustason's what, 48
13:20
games and 33 for Walstead at this point?
13:23
In the year going with Gus. That doesn't feel very.
13:25
Good. No, I don't like your.
13:26
Tickets on April 9th when you don't know who your guys going
13:30
to be is that scary? Yeah, of.
13:31
Course, of course, when you're still trying to decipher that
13:35
and figure that out, who's this going to be?
13:37
I've, I've had this away for a couple of days.
13:39
I wanted to ask you this and this is just one of these polls
13:43
that I clicked on and I liked it best play by play announcer of
13:47
all time. Now they list 8 here.
13:51
Here's the list. OK, and and to me, there's a
13:53
glaring omission. Let's see if we're on the page.
13:56
First of all, with the omit. Well, let me see how many of the
13:58
eight you can get. Best play by.
14:02
He's on there, yes. That's one Jack Buck.
14:05
He is not national, and not necessarily.
14:13
Cause Vince Scully. He's on the list.
14:15
OK, he's on the list, but he did a lot of national things also.
14:17
Yeah. So no, Jack Buck Is Joe Buck on
14:19
there? No, that's the one.
14:20
That's to me is. AI know.
14:22
Swinging a. Miss we, we know that one,
14:23
right? We know that he's number
14:25
probably 1 for. You there's a couple of there's
14:26
a couple of guy, at least two. I'm looking at this.
14:29
There's three that are deceased. There are disease play by play
14:35
wild world of sports wide world of sports guy.
14:38
Kirk Gowdy, Yes. No, really.
14:40
Yeah. Help me out here, Keith Jackson.
14:44
Oh, of course, yes. Yeah, he's not dead, but Marv
14:47
Albert Chick Hearn, Lakers announcer, right?
14:53
Really, all I know about Chick Hearn is from Remember that
14:56
Lakers HBO show that came out a couple of years.
14:58
Ago I do. I don't.
14:59
I don't think I watched it, but I did when you want talking.
15:02
I did it was it was kooky and goofy and I absolutely loved it.
15:05
But that's really all I know about Chick Hearn.
15:07
I do not remember him at all as a play by.
15:10
Play. So here, here's the eight on the
15:11
list. I think it's these aren't
15:13
alphabetical orders, So maybe this was this order that the
15:15
vote came in. Vince Scully won Al Michaels,
15:19
Mike Breen. I.
15:21
All time. No.
15:22
No, I agree. I don't know why.
15:24
He's been with us for over 20 years now as the lead voice in
15:27
the NBA and it's still just doesn't feel like that guy.
15:31
He's good. Yes, he's good and the bangs are
15:33
excellent, but just not forever. Reason hasn't captured me at
15:38
that same. Keith Jackson, Chick Heard Marv
15:40
Albert. Here's a Here's a here and now
15:42
that made the list and I was I He belongs.
15:44
Hide Eagle. Close.
15:47
Not his kid, Not Noah. Yeah, Noah didn't make sense. 1
15:50
Rundown for Mayan Eagle. One rundown for Mayan Eagle Jim
15:55
Nance. No, no, no, no.
15:58
As far as Westwood One's coverage or CBST Turner's
16:01
coverage, who's the number two team behind Ion Eagle?
16:04
Harlan, Yes. I love Harlan.
16:05
I love Harlan. Yeah, I love Harlan.
16:07
Doing anything, yes, absolutely. Right.
16:08
And Pat Summerall's the other one that's on that list, and
16:11
they were so good, man. They, him and Madden were so
16:13
good. Great combination, understated
16:15
and over for that. Tom Brookshire, I think it was
16:18
his name. Yeah, I think Tom Brookshire was
16:21
his name. And they apparently they weren't
16:27
a real fond of putting a slug in the jug.
16:29
Oh yes, a lot of late nights. A lot of late nights, those two
16:32
casts. For me, just me, not what
16:35
they've done, accomplishments out of that group, my #1 who
16:40
would come down to Keith Jackson and Kevin Harlan.
16:44
Kevin Harlan. He's so good.
16:46
Did Timberwolves games when I was growing up when the
16:48
Timberwolves were starting Noel. Michaels, huh?
16:51
No. Me called the maybe the most
16:55
famous game in sports. I was in utero at that time, so
16:59
no, I know it doesn't quite resonate.
17:01
But it but it but. It and I've never watched the
17:03
full broadcast right, you know anything like that I mean.
17:05
He's a young man at the time. Absolutely.
17:08
He only called a few hockey games at that point.
17:11
Right. That's a good point.
17:12
Yeah, excellent point. He's, I mean, he's called so
17:15
many big games. He was on.
17:17
He's been. He's been everywhere on the NFL.
17:19
Pretty much, yeah. Has he been CBS?
17:21
Not sure. But he's he's called NFL
17:23
forever. Obviously he's winding down.
17:25
Marv, Albert. Like Marv?
17:28
Yeah. I don't know, maybe you just get
17:30
that ick factor from. Him.
17:32
That's just it, right? There's a nick factor there.
17:35
There's a nick. Factor there just kind of
17:37
lingering in the back of your mind.
17:40
Those would be my top 2. Out of that group, who's not in
17:43
that group? Joe Buck.
17:45
How do you leave him out? Joe Buck called every big game
17:48
in the in this century. Yeah, he did.
17:51
He's good. In every World Series game.
17:53
He's good. I, I like Joe Buck a lot.
17:55
You love Joe Buck. I love Joe Buck.
17:57
I don't understand the criticism.
17:59
I don't. I'll never, never will.
18:01
Have have you been on social media here over the last 15
18:03
years? Just a tad.
18:06
Yeah, just just a. Tad, how can you not understand
18:08
it? It's everything.
18:09
It's if, yeah, it's I guess, I don't know, I guess that's the
18:13
case. But anyway, pretty good list.
18:15
But certainly a couple of guys that make you wonder, right?
18:20
Mike Green and Chick Hearn Regional yes now big region Yes
18:25
with with with chick or should. Did he do anything else?
18:28
I don't, I don't know if he was part of the coverage like on the
18:31
70s on CBS, you know, or something like that before by
18:34
time and I I certainly don't remember him at that level.
18:37
And if you're going to have that list and you're going to have
18:40
regional guys to not have Vince Scully, well.
18:43
He's on but. Does that have Jack Buck?
18:46
Yeah. That feels like a huge miss.
18:48
I mean, come on, 1991, I just got one and we'll see you
18:51
tomorrow night. We'll talk about an iconic call.
18:54
I know it's what's. What's going on tomorrow night?
18:56
Game 6 Kirby home run get get tomorrow night.
19:01
No his call. Oh.
19:02
We'll see you tomorrow. I thought maybe the Cardinals.
19:05
OK, I got you. I got you.
19:07
I thought the Twins and the Braves were playing.
19:08
Again. And then when his son took the
19:10
line. He did it last year, two years
19:12
ago 3. Years ago, oh, he did it.
19:14
Way back, four years ago, he did it. 12 years ago, the Cardinals
19:17
Rangers World Series, wasn't it? No, when he.
19:19
More recent than that, hasn't he?
19:21
He will see you tomorrow night. But he used.
19:23
That he used pops line. Yes, absolutely.
19:25
I get it. Oh, I thought the Braves and the
19:27
Twins are about to play again tomorrow or something.
19:31
I just got text about Mike and Mike Emerick.
19:34
Doc Emerick. I know it's hot.
19:36
You, you would have to be able to help me there.
19:37
I, I know the verbiage that he used and it was fascinating.
19:40
He's phenomenal, the descriptors and you know, I just.
19:43
Yeah, he was phenomenal. That would be 1.
19:46
You would have to help me out. All right, we're going to head
19:49
to the Twin Cities. Dane Mazatani coming up next.
19:52
A lot of stuff with Dane. Look forward to catching up on
19:56
the Vikings, on the Twins, who've now won three in a row.
19:59
Do they keep it going today or they off today?
20:01
They have one more. Aw, man.
20:04
Was it night game? No, it's coming up here in 20
20:06
minutes. First pitch as Jack Flaherty
20:09
will get the ball for the Tigers against Mick Abel.
20:12
One of those guys they got for a the bullpen arms that they sold
20:15
away. Johan Duran that was one of the
20:17
headliners and Nick Abel. Young guy throws hard, hasn't
20:21
been able to put it together. 24 years old.
20:23
He has not been very good to this point this year for the
20:25
Twins, but going for a four-game sweep against the Tigers.
20:29
He's a four gamer. So yesterday on Inside the
20:34
Numbers and Lucas has now taken over for you, Bob.
20:37
Costas there's another one. That's a good one, play by play.
20:40
I don't think I'm quite at the same realm though, though he did
20:42
plenty of it and he still does it with baseball.
20:44
Yeah, I think him as a studio guy more.
20:47
Major League Baseball, good or bad, who are the most
20:50
disappointing teams or the most surprising teams for you in each
20:55
of the leagues? Because it might be the Tigers
20:57
for me. As a disappointment.
20:59
Absolutely. I, I know the Red Sox are off to
21:01
a slow start. I I get that Seattle's off to a
21:03
slow start, but. How about the Jays?
21:07
They should have won the World Series.
21:08
They were an inch away, and if Aleppo leaves the bank
21:12
millisecond earlier, they win. Here's why I would say that they
21:16
got swept by the White Sox. The schedule dependent part of
21:20
it, right? They lost two or three to the
21:21
Rockies. Yes, absolutely.
21:22
And this is in trying. Right, right at home, at home
21:26
where you're thinking, well, a minimum are five and one here,
21:28
absolutely the Mariners, they can't hit right.
21:33
I I think that is a huge. So who were yours?
21:37
It was the Tigers for me, yeah, In terms of good, it's the
21:41
Yankees. But they're the only team in the
21:43
American League that's playing well.
21:45
Who else is playing well? Guardians, I guess.
21:48
Trent, this is crazy. Do you know how many teams in
21:52
the American League are above 500?
21:54
Three. I saw that on Twitter too this
21:55
morning. Yeah.
21:56
You did, yeah. Three teams isn't.
21:58
That Yankees, Guardians and Rangers are the only three teams
22:02
above 500. It's absolutely nuts.
22:05
What about the National League Braves?
22:08
Oh God, there's three in the East.
22:09
Right. Marlins, Mets and Braves.
22:13
Central Division. Reds, Brewers.
22:15
Cart Everybody but the Cubs. Everybody but the Cubs, who
22:19
battled back to five. 100, that's who tweeted that.
22:21
That's really good yeah, that's really good.
22:23
Just. Just came across that
22:25
disappointing in the National League, I guess.
22:28
The Phillies, yeah, they're still 6.
22:31
That says, it's not like they're followed out of favor or
22:33
anything like that. Could you put the Cubs in there
22:36
now? They won two straight.
22:37
Right. Yeah.
22:38
If we would have said this on Tuesday, absolutely they'd be
22:41
part of that. Conference factor in the Kate
22:42
Horton injury. The news there?
22:45
Birchie tweeted. He's going to join us.
22:47
By the way, 35 minutes. Always love our conversation
22:49
with Tommy Wiggins. Was supposed to start here on
22:51
Friday and they scratched him. Oh really?
22:54
What does that mean? Kind of a holding pattern.
22:56
Well, I wonder if we need him over the weekend.
22:58
They, the the Cubs and one of the scouts who every time he
23:02
reached out to, kind of spun it differently.
23:05
But I'm wondering if something's up here, right?
23:08
Make the call, get the young guy out there because what does the
23:11
rotation look like now going forward for the Cubs tomorrow?
23:14
Gonna be in on gotta. Yep, yeah.
23:15
Afternoon, Cabrera, And then I don't remember who starts Tayon
23:20
Tayon on Sunday as the Pirates are in town.
23:22
Do they miss schemes? They must.
23:25
Yeah, it's Chandler on Sunday, Saturday it is Ashcroft and
23:29
tomorrow it is Ludinsky. So they built the Miskeens, but
23:34
they also have a wrap around because they play the Phillies
23:36
again on Monday. Could that be potentially the
23:38
spot they're holding a mouth? Oh, Wiggins, Yes, I gotcha.
23:43
Or are they looking long relief? A lot of different directions
23:45
this obviously can go. We'll talk to Tommy coming up to
23:48
start our number two of our program.
23:50
We'll do some WNBA. He was Scott Agnes at 1:30.
23:53
We're going to head to the Twin Cities next.
23:55
Dane Mazatani, St. Paul Pioneer Press, Vikings,
23:58
Twins and Wild Conversation when we come back on the Iowa Sports
24:02
Radio Network, right, 1230. Miller Condon, welcome back to
24:10
the Iowa Sports Radio Network. Wherever listening in the state
24:12
of Iowa, any of our fine affiliates.
24:15
We're grateful that you are. Coming up.
24:17
We'll talk to Tommy Birch covers the Iowa Cubs.
24:20
What plans are they making? Who's catching Tommy's eye?
24:22
Who perhaps ticketed for the Chicago Cubs?
24:25
And he covers Iowa State women's basketball.
24:27
The latest on what's going on with Bill Fennelly's roster.
24:30
Coming up top of the hour, let's head north.
24:32
Dane Mazatani, St. Paul Pioneer Press,
24:34
twincities.com Dane Trenton, Ken, thank you as always for
24:37
giving us some time here today. How you been, Dane?
24:41
I'm good, I'm good. I'm sitting on my couch watching
24:43
the Masters so I can't complain. Life is good absolutely you know
24:47
I'm going to start hockey because we Trent and I brought
24:49
it up early in the program what a massive game it is tonight as
24:53
they hope to get home ice advantage for the first round of
24:56
their playoffs because that's like it or not you're going to
24:59
see Dallas round one the winner to get in all likelihood
25:01
Colorado, but home ice advantage would be huge.
25:05
I think the only chance that Minnesota has to wrestle it away
25:08
would be to win tonight on the road in Dallas.
25:11
This is a huge game in the NHL Central Division.
25:16
Yeah, and you have to win tonight if you want home ice
25:19
advantage. That's that's 100% true.
25:22
But I think more than anything tonight, like it just kind of
25:25
gives you a little bit of a sense of what's to come in a
25:29
week, week and a half. I expect both teams to play
25:33
really hard. I expect it to be a physical
25:35
game. If I'm Minnesota, like I'm
25:38
rolling out my third and you know, that beefed up fourth line
25:41
and I'm being extremely physical with Dallas.
25:44
I'm letting them know, hey, we're here taking any liberties.
25:48
But you know, this is a week away from from when it gets
25:52
really, really tough in here. So I'm I'm telling Marcus
25:56
Felino, Nick Felino, AJ McCarron, Hey, go lay on Jason
26:00
Robertson, you know, go, go, go, you know, finish your check on
26:04
Wyatt Johnson. So it's a big game.
26:07
And then the Wild want to win it.
26:09
But I think more than anything, you just want to one, get out of
26:12
it healthy to send a message. The two points would obviously
26:16
be a huge, huge bonus. Home ice advantage is going to
26:19
be, you know, paramount. I think we would do with the way
26:22
the Wilder played at home. But yeah, I think it's just
26:26
going to be a really good game tonight.
26:27
I will be posted up watching. The question that I have why is
26:31
this year different? Why is this wild team different
26:34
than the one that we've seen so many times make the playoffs and
26:36
then bow out in the first round? What makes them a contender in
26:39
your mind? I think Quinn Hughes first and
26:44
foremost, I think they've they've never had anybody like
26:47
Quinn Hughes on the blue line ever in franchise history.
26:50
And like just look at what it's done to the blue line.
26:53
Brock favorites, a very, very good player, going to be one of
26:56
the best ever put on the wild uniform if he stays here his
26:59
whole career. But when you can put Brock Faber
27:02
and bump him down a spot on the blue line, he can be your number
27:06
2 defenseman. And you know, Spurgeon and
27:09
Brodeen can can be that number 3 and #4 and then you could have
27:13
that beefed up third pairing with Middleton and the Gojin or
27:17
Jet Petri, if he's going to play, it just makes everything
27:20
else go. And then Quinn Hughes is the
27:22
engine of this team, you know, from the back end.
27:27
So I think it starts with him. But then you look at Crow Capri
27:31
shot, obviously in the jump Matt Boldy has taken, you can make an
27:34
argument. And I don't even think it would
27:36
be an argument. I think it's pretty inarguable
27:39
that Crow, Capri shot, Matt Boldy and Quinn Hughes are the
27:41
three best players the franchise has ever had.
27:44
I mean, they all have them right now at the same time.
27:46
So that's why this year feels different to me.
27:49
Unfortunately, with the wonky NHL playoff format, they have to
27:54
play this like the third best team in the NHL.
27:56
You know, it's unbelievable. Yeah, I couldn't disagree with
27:59
anything you said. I love what they did.
28:00
They got bigger, they got nastier with Fellino coming over
28:04
to join his brother and as you said, Mccarran and Capri softs
28:08
anywhere. He's a top ten player.
28:09
I think he's closer to five than he is 10.
28:12
They got a lot going. I think they can win a Cup and
28:14
I've been since the trade deadline that that this team has
28:17
a legitimate chance to win a Stanley Cup.
28:19
We shall see where it goes. Let's let's let's talk about the
28:23
Vikings as we approach what, two weeks from tonight?
28:26
Now, is the round one of the NFL draft two or three?
28:29
Is it three or two, 2, two weeks?
28:33
Yeah. Ready or not, here we come.
28:35
Where do you, where do they thinking right now as they, you
28:40
know, are in their war room trying to figure out where, who
28:42
might be available? What do you think that they're
28:45
going to do, Dane? Yeah, I mean, you read any mock
28:48
draft and they're going to take the Oregon safety, Dylan
28:51
Thienemann. He's he's been the guy I've seen
28:54
mocked to them almost across the board, almost universally with
28:58
anybody who's put together a mock draft safety makes sense.
29:03
Harrison Smith hasn't officially retired.
29:05
Don't know that we'll get an official announcement.
29:07
I think he's one of those guys that could just hang around and
29:10
maybe late in the season if they need somebody, you know, he
29:13
could be that guy. So I don't think we'll get a
29:17
Harrison Smith is officially retiring.
29:19
But effectively, I think the Vikings have to prepare as if
29:23
they will not have him on the roster.
29:24
So Dylan Theaniman makes sense from Oregon, kind of a rangy
29:28
safety. You can play in that system.
29:31
He feels pretty pro ready for me right away.
29:34
So it's kind of a seamless transition to go from Harrison
29:37
Smith to to a young rookie. But I listening to Rob Burzynski
29:42
talk at the the owners meetings last week, week and a half ago,
29:46
I think it was like he made an interesting point in that the
29:53
Vikings are in a position right now where where they feel really
29:57
good about their roster, but they don't feel so good about
30:00
it. And that they can just write off
30:02
we don't need this player. We don't need this position.
30:06
He almost said. He works backwards.
30:07
People like to talk about the draft is position of need.
30:13
Rob Burzynski and the Vikings, it sounds like they're going to
30:15
go almost with a position we don't need.
30:17
Like how many positions on the team would we not benefit from
30:21
just taking up, you know, the best player on the board?
30:24
I mean, there's very few when you when you look at it like
30:27
they're probably not taking a left tackle.
30:28
They have Christian there. So, you know, they're probably
30:30
not taking, you know, a quarterback just because of of
30:34
where the things have have gone this offseason and then the
30:37
investment you put in Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy.
30:39
But you could make a strong argument that any other position
30:43
makes sense. So I don't want to just pigeon
30:45
hole them to safety, even though that's what it seems like a lot
30:48
of the mock drafts are doing that.
30:50
I think they could just go truly best player available on the
30:54
board when they're on the clock at 18.
30:56
Or, you know, maybe more prudently trade back, try to
31:00
gather some picks. Depending on who you listen to,
31:03
who you consume for your NFL draft preview coverage.
31:07
It seems like talent is pretty synonymous or between 20 and 40.
31:12
So maybe you trade back and pick up an extra pick or two here.
31:16
But yeah, I mean, I think they get their best player on the
31:18
board when they're on the clock. It feels somewhat dangerous
31:23
because Dane, you do it, we do it.
31:26
Oh man, this team had a great draft and then you look a couple
31:29
years down the line and actually isn't good.
31:31
You're going into a draft without an official GM.
31:33
If Burzynski gets the job because he has a quote UN quote
31:36
great draft, we're not going to know for a couple of years if
31:38
that's actually the case here. Take us in a little bit.
31:41
The decision to go interim here, not go out right away after they
31:44
got rid of Quincy and and make a decision on AGM and just how
31:48
this structurally is going to look and and the chances that
31:51
Burzynski ultimately gets this job as the head GM.
31:54
Yeah, I think when the the will when, when ownership made the
31:58
decision to fire Quaisy Doffman pretty surprisingly pretty out
32:02
of left field, at least timing wise.
32:05
When you when you read kind of between the lines of his tenure
32:08
in Minnesota and you know, things I've heard like the
32:11
firing of Quaisy Doffman tends to make a little bit of sense,
32:15
but the timing did not make any sense to me.
32:17
So I think the ownership when when you make a big decision
32:20
like that kind of out of left field, you want stability, you
32:24
want right away. Let's just kind of like get
32:28
things back to to cruising altitude.
32:31
I mean, that's what Rob Brzezinski represents.
32:33
He represents somebody who's been there for 20 years, 20 plus
32:36
years since 1999. I mean, he can kind of navigate
32:40
this storm, if you will, right now.
32:43
And I think kind of in some ways give you a little bit of a sense
32:47
of what he could look like as as a general manager, as a leader
32:50
of that front office. So I understand the the idea of,
32:54
well, should they have just gone out as soon as they fire quasi
32:57
and tried to make a higher? But I think at that point then
33:00
you're you're already deep into the draft, right?
33:03
And you're if you're hiring a new GM, they're being thrown
33:06
into the deep end with really very little say and or knowledge
33:10
about the draft process or where where the Vikings are at and in
33:14
the draft process at that point. So it's not ideal, but I think
33:18
when they made that decision to fire quasi, they were making
33:22
that with the idea that we'll just kind of weather this storm.
33:27
Robertson is incredibly talented, talent evaluator, cap
33:33
guy obviously, but more than anything, he's a leader who can
33:36
bring people together. And I think that's what Quasi
33:38
lacked more than anything. So right now they're looking for
33:41
a leader. Maybe if if Robertson wants a
33:44
job, if if the will see him fit, he will do that leader in the
33:48
long term on the right now they're content with that in the
33:50
short term and then they'll do that.
33:52
Full search here. Coming up in a month or so.
33:55
Talking Minnesota sports with her friend Dane Mazatani, St.
33:57
Paul Pioneer Press twincities.com Dane, once we get
34:01
to late summer and the and the Vikings are in training camp, is
34:04
this a legitimate quarterback battle?
34:07
Or are they saying the right thing but knowing at the same
34:09
time it's going to be Kyler Murray?
34:11
How do you see this? How do you see this?
34:13
Is it a legitimate battle for #1?
34:17
I don't think so. I think they're going to frame.
34:19
I think they're going to frame it like that and they should
34:22
like in March and I just run into April.
34:25
There's there's no really no reason to to declare Kyler
34:28
Murray your starter because there is still, you know, some
34:34
threads of unknown with him if he's going to take to the
34:37
offense, if he's going to be able to kind of navigate things
34:41
in the way you want him to. So like, it doesn't make sense
34:45
to declare Tyler Murray the starter and then say things go
34:49
sideways and OTAs and training camp and then you have to kind
34:52
of renege on that. So I understand where they're
34:55
at. I think it's good messaging.
34:57
I think it does light a fire under JJ McCarthy.
35:00
Everything I'm hearing is that he's ready to go for this
35:03
competition. And even if it ends up not
35:07
really being a competition, because I think Kyler Murray,
35:09
when when we're out there in the summer, who's getting the first
35:12
team snaps of all the, you know, the first person getting the
35:15
first team snaps, I think it'll be Kyler Murray.
35:17
And I don't foresee him giving that positioning up the rest of
35:21
the way. But I think right now you frame
35:24
it as a competition. You don't hand anything to Kyler
35:27
Murray, first of all, and then you also ignite a little bit of
35:30
a fire under Jaden McCarthy. It makes sense.
35:32
But look, Kyler Murray didn't come here to be a backup.
35:36
He could have gone other places to be a backup.
35:38
He came here to start. I think the Vikings understand
35:40
that. I think he obviously understands
35:43
that. So as as long as if, you know,
35:46
like I said, things don't go sideways, I I would expect him
35:49
to be your starter Week 1. We started the conversation with
35:52
a look at the winter sport in the state of hockey with hockey.
35:56
Let's jump over to basketball. The Timberwolves locked up the
35:58
number six seed trying to get healthy as they make their way
36:02
down the stretch here. back-to-back runs to the Western
36:04
Conference Finals. Going to have to do it on the
36:06
road again this season. Thoughts on the Timberwolves as
36:09
they get ready for the playoffs after the regular season
36:11
concludes. Yeah, it's kind of a frustrating
36:14
year for them. Like I know there's a six seed,
36:17
a couple of things break right in their favor down the stretch
36:20
and they probably could have got up to three, but now they're
36:22
locked into 6. It just feels like they left
36:25
some meat on the bone. They were one of the healthiest
36:27
teams in in the Western Conference fans of the last
36:30
month when when Anthony Edwards and JD Mcdaniel's have gone
36:33
down. I think they could have given
36:35
themselves a little bit better positioning to maybe lock up
36:37
that three from the jump if they would have just been more
36:39
consistent. But they've been very Jekyll and
36:42
Hyde this year. The glass half full approaches.
36:47
Well, they've been there. They've done that.
36:49
Very few teams are as proven as the Timberwolves are heading
36:52
into this playoffs. The glass half empty is like,
36:56
are you going to be able to actually just flip that switch
36:58
and turn it on? It seems like a lot of people
37:03
who are approaching this playoff run with some optimism are
37:06
saying, well, they're going to be able to do it.
37:08
They've done it for the past two years.
37:12
It might not be so easy if you hook Denver and they're playing
37:14
incredible right now. So it just it just feels a
37:17
little bit like a missed opportunity.
37:19
And obviously I have my my trepidation or reservations
37:23
going into the the playoffs, but they could, they could shut me
37:26
up real quick by just putting their foot on the gas and, and,
37:30
and doing what they've done the last two playoff playoff runs.
37:33
So it'll come down to health more than anything for them.
37:36
I think they're going to manage it the rest of the way with
37:38
Anthony Edwards. Jane McDaniels played last
37:41
night, which is good. I don't know if he'll play the
37:44
final 2-3 games of the regular season because you probably want
37:47
to keep him healthy. If the Wolves are healthy,
37:49
they'll be able to punch with anybody.
37:51
I just have a little bit of questions of are they going to
37:54
be able to flip the switch this time?
37:56
They've just been so up and down this year.
37:59
Leave the Twins for Trent has his team has won three in a row.
38:03
Don't look out right. But I want to ask you about 1-1
38:06
more guy and you don't have to spend a ton of time on it
38:07
because Trent and I both loved the SOMU when he was in
38:09
Illinois. I was a hell of a player.
38:11
I thought I was going to be a great pro.
38:13
Now he's AT Wolf and I guess so far so good, right, since he's
38:17
come over from the Bulls. Yeah, a really good player.
38:20
I think he's he's also somebody who you see a lot of these moves
38:24
at the trade deadline. It's a rental.
38:26
I don't think the the the Timberwolves CIO is a rental.
38:30
I think they see him as part of their future.
38:32
He's proven to be somebody who can do it on both ends of the
38:36
floor. He can play with some pace.
38:38
He defends in some ways. I know he's like kind of more of
38:42
a combo guard, but he does make sense as maybe like your pseudo
38:46
point guard. Next, Anthony Edwards moving
38:48
forward. I think he's a really, really
38:51
good player. And yeah, they're very, very
38:53
savvy move by Tim Conley in the front office.
38:56
I've always, I've always liked him to grow up in the suburbs of
38:59
Chicago. So following him in Illinois,
39:02
liked him with the Bulls. He's kind of made himself into a
39:05
really good player. But he's he's he's he's another
39:07
X Factor. I know it'll come down to health
39:09
from the Stars, but if you get a good playoff series out of IO,
39:13
you you could beat anybody. The Twins have won three in a
39:16
row. They're just underway against
39:17
the Tigers, trying to get a four-game sweep against the
39:20
prohibitive favorite coming into the year.
39:22
The bullpen is not very good. The rotation with Taj Bradley's
39:25
been outstanding. Him and of course Joe Ryan up
39:28
there. You got Bailey over Simeons,
39:30
Wood, Richardson. You're feeling good about that.
39:32
Anything, though, that's popped? I still don't believe this is
39:34
going to be any kind of contender, even for a wild card
39:36
berth this season. But what's jumped out to you
39:39
here? The first 12 games of the year?
39:41
Yeah, I mean, I I think it's just fun.
39:43
It shows you that like it's it's interesting when we project out
39:49
of this team could lose 100 games and then they win three in
39:52
a row and it's like, wow, maybe they're pretty good.
39:54
It shows you how long the baseball season is more than
39:57
anything. But I look what stood out to me
40:01
is man, I wish Pablo didn't blow out his elbow because this this
40:05
pitching staff all of a sudden looks like it could have been
40:07
pretty good with him as your ace with you know, Joe Ryan,
40:11
obviously, as you're also ace. And if Cos Bradley is what he's
40:17
proven us he is for the first obviously very small sample
40:21
size. It just makes you wonder like
40:23
how could they have been a surprising team?
40:25
I think they're. A couple of heavy hitters away
40:28
from being a contender, like you said, for, you know, obviously a
40:32
World Series, but even a wild card birth.
40:34
But that's what that's kind of what I've come back to as
40:36
they've they've strung together this little fun winning streak
40:39
is man, if they didn't lose their race, maybe I'd have a
40:42
little bit more belief in them. But I think they're going to be
40:46
a plucky bunch all year. I think they're probably going
40:48
to be a team that frustrates for prolonged stretches.
40:52
But there's there is some talent in the line up still.
40:55
And if guys like Royce Lewis can can find it, Brooksley can find
40:59
it. I know they've they've been in
41:03
there kind of in a downturn in their development.
41:05
But if they can figure it out and kind of find an upswing,
41:09
they could string together enough wins to at least not be
41:13
irrelevant. It would be nice if they could
41:16
be flirting with, you know, 500 throughout the season.
41:20
That might be a big ask, but you'll you'll take these, these
41:23
pocket moments of optimism where you can get them.
41:27
Also, another thing that stood out, they did the $2.00 beer
41:29
special. I mean, they stole like 24,000
41:33
beers, something like that. So it's I might have to
41:36
makemytrip my way way over there when it gets a little warmer.
41:39
That sounds good. Hey, Jane, thanks for popping on
41:41
back to the Masters. Dane Mazatani, we appreciate
41:43
what you do for us. Thank you.
41:46
Anytime guys. Good.
41:46
To talk to you, Dan Mazatani, St.
41:48
Paul Pioneer Press. I got a nugget for you all
41:50
right, Matt Walner slugging the ball hard when he hits it
41:53
doesn't hit it very often. He has struck out this year in
41:56
12 games. How many bats?
42:00
52 OK, 49 bets officially 52 plate appearances.
42:03
He has struck out 25 times. He is on pace for 337
42:10
strikeouts. One of two more than that, a
42:16
swing in a minute. But Trent, when he hits him, he
42:18
does. He makes contact look out.
42:21
Back to finish up the hour, Miller and Condon, Iowa Sports
42:23
Radio Network Miller and Condon, final couple
42:41
of minutes of our first hour of the program.
42:43
Tommy Burch. Variety of topics for Tommy,
42:46
including the Iowa Cubs. Are they playing this afternoon?
42:50
Don't know. Don't know.
42:51
I'm not sure they're going to be playing, period.
42:53
Rain come outside and rain's coming for like a week.
42:57
This just it. First softball tournament of the
42:59
year coming up this weekend. Well, it's scheduled to be and
43:01
then we'll talk to Scott Agnes, dual WNBA with Scott coming up
43:06
at about 1:30. Trent, we'll make some plays
43:08
just before we slide out of here at 2.
43:10
The defending champion, Rory McIlroy off to a pretty good
43:13
start. Oh, yeah.
43:14
There was a lot of back and forth as to what to expect from
43:16
him. You know, he finally got that
43:18
monkey off his back. His He's been a different player
43:21
since then. He certainly was after he won.
43:24
He wasn't, I don't know. I'm not saying it wasn't
43:27
serious, but seemed to, you know, have maybe golf wasn't his
43:31
primary focus on the court or on the links rather.
43:35
But we'll see where it goes from here.
43:37
Sam Burns and Patrick Reed remain at the top of the list.
43:42
Do you have anybody that's off to a good start?
43:43
Yeah, anybody that you bet that's getting clubbed early.
43:46
Xander I was on Dechambeau and he was 4 over at last.
43:50
I saw so and. He was three over.
43:52
Yeah, he was, and I think he was 4.
43:54
Over. I just watched him, he got
43:55
trouble building a sand trap. Oh, did he?
43:57
And he missed a putt earlier for par.
43:59
He's been all over the place. But yeah, Xander's my guy.
44:01
That's what I'm feeling good about.
44:03
And I had nothing on Lowry, even though I usually like him.
44:05
His form wasn't very good. It's one day 2.
44:08
Don't overreact. No, I know you.
44:10
Just want to keep your head above water and for guys like De
44:12
Shambo, that is not the case. Sheffler getting ready to tee
44:15
off, excited about that and seeing what he can do because I
44:19
did have to take a little bit on him.
44:21
Did you? What did you end up doing to win
44:22
it? So I took one of the profit
44:24
boosts over at DK and so I took in and got his odds up to like
44:27
plus 680. You know what, I had a top five
44:29
at plus 140 that was already locked in.
44:31
But I'm like, I just, I need to have a.
44:33
Little at that price you almost have to right.
44:35
Yeah, I mean it's. I just start walking off like I
44:37
got to. Yeah, he's coming off the
44:39
practice range of like, I have to have something.
44:42
I mean, normally you, you hate betting or anything that's short
44:45
of a price, but when it when it's the best player in the
44:48
world and yeah, you kick yourself if he goes off at 5-6
44:53
to 1/5 and 1/2 to 1 and he does get there as he's absolutely
44:57
qualified to do. All right, Hour 2 is coming up
45:00
next. Something that's been lingering,
45:02
we'll get to maybe after Tommy. OK, We still haven't heard
45:06
anything on our viral fool Garris.
45:07
No. Or Milan man Chilovich, what's
45:10
going on? It's weird, isn't it?
45:12
Here's the. Thing both of these players not
45:14
doing their teams any favours. Absolutely right.
45:18
Our 2 coming up next Miller in Condon on the Iowa Sports Radio
45:21
Network.
